Laser tattoo removal before and after
Laser tattoo removal before and after pictures demonstrate incredible skin clearance using the PicoSure laser system. As with any medical treatment, results may vary. However, these laser tattoo removal before and after pictures reveal real patients enjoying real results.*
How does laser tattoo removal work?
Laser tattoo removal uses intense energy pulses to target the pigment in tattoo ink. During treatment, your technician calibrates the laser’s wavelength to penetrate a specific ink color while bypassing the skin or nearby tissue. The pigment from the ink absorbs the laser and its energy. This energy fractures the ink particles, blasting them into smaller pieces. Simultaneously, the laser stimulates the immune system to attack the fractured pieces of ink, now small enough to be absorbed and processed out of the body, effectively clearing the ink from the skin.
Each laser session improves the clearance of the tattoo.² Typically, patients see full clearance of their unwanted ink in as little as 4 to 8 treatments.
Tattoo Removal with CynoSure’s PicoSure Laser System
Wyndhurst Medical Aesthetics & Hormone Clinic utilizes the most advanced tattoo removal laser system on the market: the PicoSure by Cynosure. The PicoSure is the world’s first picosecond laser and the only laser system to use advanced PressureWaveTM Technology. There is no question that the PicoSure laser system is the golden standard in tattoo removal.
The PicoSure Difference
Traditional tattoo removal laser systems, like Q-switched lasers, pulse energy in nanoseconds (one billionth of a second.) Nanosecond lasers rely on heat to fracture tattoo pigment. In contrast, PicoSure relies on speed. Utilizing its PressureWaveTM technology, PicoSure lasers release the same amount of energy as the Q-switched laser, but in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second.) These ultra-short bursts of specialized energy do more than just heat the targeted ink pigment.
The picosecond pulse is so fast that it creates a change in pressure, triggering a photomechanical response in the ink’s pigment that pulverizes ink into dust-like particles. This clears the tattoo more quickly and effectively than Q-switched lasers. In addition, a shorter burst of energy is safer on surrounding skin, decreasing pain, downtime, and the risk of skin irritation or scarring.
PicoSure Laser Tattoo Removal Reviews in Scientific Literature
A clinical study published in the Archives of Dermatology compared “Responses of Tattoos to Picosecond and Nanosecond Q-Switched…Lasers.” The researchers found “significant lightening in the picosecond-treated areas compared with those treated with nanosecond pulses.” They concluded, “Picosecond pulses are more efficient than nanosecond pulses in clearing tattoos.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORK?
Laser tattoo removal uses high-intensity light beams to break down the ink particles in the tattoo. Over time, the body’s immune system absorbs and eliminates these fragmented ink particles.
WHAT FACTORS DETERMINE THE SUCCESS OF LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?
The success of laser tattoo removal depends on several factors, including the age, size, and color of the tattoo, as well as the patient’s skin type and overall health. Older tattoos and specific ink colors are generally easier to remove.
ARE ALL TATTOO COLORS EQUALLY EASY TO REMOVE?
No, not all tattoo colors are equally easy to remove. Darker colors, such as black and blue, absorb laser light more effectively and are typically easier to remove. Lighter colors, such as yellow and green, can be more challenging and may require additional treatments.
CAN LASER TATTOO REMOVAL CAUSE SCARRING?
When performed by a skilled professional, laser tattoo removal has a low risk of scarring. Following aftercare instructions carefully can help minimize any risk of post-treatment marks.
IS LASER TATTOO REMOVAL SAFE FOR DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES?
Yes, laser tattoo removal is generally safe for different skin types. However, the type of laser used may vary depending on the skin tone to ensure effectiveness and reduce the risk of complications.
DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORK ON PERMANENT MAKEUP?
Laser tattoo removal can be effective on permanent makeup but requires special consideration. Different pigments used in permanent makeup can react differently to lasers, so a consultation with a specialist is necessary to determine the best approach.
HOW MANY LASER TATTOO REMOVAL TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
The number of laser tattoo removal treatments you will need depends on several factors, such as the location of your tattoo, the size of your tattoo, and the color and type of ink used in your tattoo. For example, darker inks absorb light more effectively than lighter inks. Therefore, it usually requires fewer laser treatments to clear black or blue inks and more treatments to clear orange, red, or green inks.
During your complimentary consultation from Wyndhurst Medical Aesthetics & Hormone Clinic, your laser technician will discuss the characteristics of your tattoo and estimate the number of treatments required to clear that tattoo to your satisfaction.
HOW LONG MUST I WAIT BETWEEN LASER TREATMENTS?
Your treatment schedule will space each session several weeks apart, typically 4 to 8 weeks, so your body has enough time to process the ink particles before your subsequent treatment. However, individual experiences may vary.* If laser tattoo removal suits you, your technician will customize your treatment plan to best suit your schedule.
DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL HURT?
In the early days of cosmetic lasers, laser tattoo removal could be painful. However, advancements in laser technology have significantly improved patient experience.
While PicoSure relies more on speed and less on heat (compared to traditional tattoo removal systems), there is still some discomfort associated with this procedure. Your laser technician will do everything possible to provide a comfortable experience. To reduce discomfort or pain, your technician will apply numbing cream, cooling devices, and other aids.
Individual experiences may vary, but most patients report that their treatment was far less painful than expected and tolerable.*
HOW MUCH DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL COST?
The cost of laser tattoo removal varies per patient. Factors affecting the cost include the size of the tattoo and the number of treatments required to reach the desired level of clearance.
During your complimentary consultation with Wyndhurst Medical Aesthetics & Hormone Clinic, your technician will discuss laser tattoo removal prices in detail and customize a treatment plan that meets your needs and matches your budget.
